The Eve of Destruction Website now offers a new version 2.31 of the Eve of Destruction modification that brings Battlefield 1942 from World War II into the Vietnam War. The update adds new vehicles, and tweaks a bunch of weapons and maps. They also recall the debut release of the mod was called version 0.10 because it represented 10% of what was planned for the project, clarifying that version 2.31 does not mean it is 231% done. Thanks Ant via Planet Battlefield.

It still should work under old XP Pro. SP3 like my i7 950 with old, updated XP Pro. SP3. [grin]

The player base is mainly on European servers at this point but the Americans populate servers on Thursdays and Fridays. Also there are at least 2 tournament leagues active.

The most exciting thing right now is the chance to play on one of the experiment servers that might support anywhere from 100 to 200 players at a time. It truly adds to the epic war feeling.

Ooh, 100-200 servers. That has to be crazy. I hope my PC and pipe can handle it as a client! Is that up now or still a long way to go?
